It's an idiom. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lose_one%27s_shirt https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lose_one%27s_shirt.
And anyway, if all I literally owned was a shirt and I literally lost it, I'd be pretty pissed about losing 100% of my earthly possessions.
- thaumasiotes 4y agoI know it's an idiom; that's why I said "not in any normal sense of that phrase". Losing your shirt would ordinarily refer to taking huge losses. You can't do that unless you've got stuff to lose.
- ElfinTrousers 4y agoExcellent point, thank you for enlightening me. I will go back and make corrections post-haste.
